Overview

The Wilmington University Restructuring Institute is pleased to present its Introduction to Bankruptcy Workshop, a two-day program designed to provide junior insolvency professionals with a comprehensive, practice-oriented grounding in Chapter 11 proceedings.

The program will address the preparation and filing of a Chapter 11 petition, including pre-filing considerations, confidentiality issues, and first-day pleadings; the analysis of capital structures and the priority of claims among secured, unsecured, and equity constituencies; the negotiation and documentation of debtor-in-possession financing and the use of cash collateral under Section 364; fundamental accounting and reporting obligations arising in a Chapter 11 case, including 13-week cash flow forecasts, DIP budgets, and statements of financial affairs; and the standards and best practices governing the preparation and presentation of contested and uncontested matters before the Bankruptcy Court. The program will also feature a roundtable discussion with sitting bankruptcy judges and a panel of junior practitioners addressing career development and the day-to-day realities of insolvency practice.

Intended Audience: Junior associates, financial advisors, and investment bankers engaged in restructuring practice, as well as law students and judicial clerks
